Podcasting
Students in 6th grade have been creating their own podcasts based on topics of their own interest. Students are working with partners/groups to discuss a passion in their lives and how they can express it to other students in the school. Students are going to be voting amongst their GT peers, to decide which top 5 podcasts will move on to be a continuation for the entire school to access and listen to :)
Names hidden due to voting that is upcoming!

7th GT STEAM Competition
7th grade GT moved into the library from now until their competition March 25. They will be competing in 3D printing, robotics, Destination Imagination and Instant Challenges. Students were put into mixed teams with 7th GT students from NBMS. They will communicate with their group through Flipgrid and email then compete together in March. They have been working on Instant Challenges, team building skills and Minute to Win It games the first half of January.
The last week of January students worked on Lego robotics and Quick Writes for the competition with NBISD technologist, Sarah Styles.
